Fediverser is a project to build all the required tools to help people leave legacy social networks and to join the fediverse. Currently, it provides a web application that runs alongside a traditional Lemmy service to provide the following functionality:

Create a map between subreddits and the corresponding Lemmy communities
Let users signup to the Lemmy instance directly by using their reddit information, and automatically subscribe them to the lemmy communities provided by the internal reddit <-> lemmy map
(Optional): use the subreddit to lemmy map to run a mirroring tool that can take posts and comments from the subreddits and place them in the corresponding lemmy community.

The Fediverser Network is a website that aims to crowdsource the information used by the different fediverser deployments and to coordinate all users and instance admins.

This week a new version of the Fediverser project was released and is now ready to get more users helping to reach out to people on Reddit who are willing to migrate to the Fediverse.

This new release allows users to send DMs to select reddit users via DM with an invite code. Users on reddit will get a message from the "Community Ambassador" and will be able to accept or decline the invite.

A lot of work has also been done to let new users to find a new instance directly. Users can simply say what are their interests and their primary location, and the system takes that into consideration when choosing an instance.

The default option will redirect them to any random instance that is running the fediverser software (currently only alien.top), so if there are any other admins that would be interested in joining, please let me know.

On one hand I want more people to come to the Fediverse. On the other hand this sounds like a way to make a lot of people mad at us and think of us as the online equivalent of missionaries knocking at your door. "No, I don't want to [change/take up] religions, go away!" And then you complain about how annoying they are somewhere.

That said, I recognize promoting anything and trying to get other people to follow you into it is hard, unless that person is actively asking for recommendations. It is the entire reason marketing exists, and people haaaate it. Best wishes.
